o'clock this morning by the blood
curdllng shrieks Of the ERterwOrka

and still more Mortified, II they had
been told that the beautiful National
Hotel building, now about complet-

looked very plausible to Assistant
Marshal Tyler, IS he was marching
along the deserted street In that To-
cality at that lonely hour this
morning. AS the wind began blow
Ing from the north about that time,
he noticed sparks flying from the
roof in great abundance, slightlng
among the row OF buildings that line
Santa Ps avenue In the block just
south Of the hotel, while some Of
them found = resting place In the
uncOmplsted structure among scat
tered shavlngs, and pieces Of pine
that are still In the building. VIII
Fessler happened along about that
time aud Tyler ssht him upon the
roof to ascertain the cause, which ht
found to be the charcoal stoves that
the timers had left on the building,
when they had stopped the work Of
roofing for the night. The high
wind had famed tho supposed dead

THE BRIDGE BILL.

Rt Passes the House and has Excellent
Prospects in the Senate.
A telegram from Washington, received
early this morning, conveys gratifying
information relative to the Yankton
bridge charter. It reads as follows:
Washington, ID. O., March Ito
Bowen & K%ingsbury, Yankton, Dakota--
The Yankton bridge bill has passed the
house and will probably pass the senate.
O. s. CLIFFORD.
Delegate Gifford's assurance OF the
final success of this measure is doubtless
well founded. He has carefully attended
the bill through the house, has kept ii
as far to the front as possible and has
finally pushed it through. In the SEN
ate it will receive like careful attention
and Yankton can hope for its passage.
This is an important measure to us and
results will be awaited with anxiety. To-
day there is general rejoicing over Dele.
gate Giford's success.
